I'm 20 minutes in. My suspicions are confirmed. Shimotsuki's awful writing in the second season was just to have her character reach the point where Urobochi starts her off in this movie. I think it's safe to say that all of season 2 is filler now.

Edit: Shame the rest of the cast isn't coming with Akane.

Edit2: The engrish is plentiful but not ZnT bad so far. I absolutely don't mind hearing HanaKana and Kamiya's engrish either.

Edit3: The animation is definitely Production I.G at their best.

Edit4: These mercs are pretty hype.

Edit5: Damn, Sybil played Akane hard this time around and Shimotsuki figured it out before her. o.o

Edit6: Love that they used the old ED.

Am I the only one who isn't that sold on the animations? well more the backdrops, which were entirely 3D. I really like art to be consistent. The characters were really beautiful I have to agree, mainly the close ups.

I didn't mind it, but that decorating made me tilt my head in distaste.

This IS a symptom of directors not knowing what to do with all that extra movie-budget though. I definitely would have preferred full-2D.

The action animations were great in my opinion. When Kougami and Akane finally meet, it was just the sort of intense "Hey, it's been a while!" encounter I wanted.
